"Entering New Territory-Personal Narrative"

Running throughout the streets of Los Angeles, seeing how much they have changed throughout the years is what the students of Theodore Roosevelt High School point out in "Entering New Territory", a short story describing Los Angeles and the beautiful city it used to be. Several visuals are presented by the writers, giving the reader alot of ideas, visualizing the city as being restless and always on the run no matter what time of the day it is. Nature is presented as barely existing, showing beauty to the runner in the story as something we may not see later on in the future. The story shows the difference between Los Angeles and other cities explaining the culture of L.A. throughout several observations shown in the story.

This helps me in film by adding commentary to my film while illustrating what I want the viewers to see upon what goes on in my mind. This short story is a good example of what kind of dialogue must be added in our films so it can appeal to the audience and seem more dramatic and easy to follow. Out of all of the short stories, I enjoyed this one more because it was easy to read and relate to.
